Does Ashlee always sing with a tape? How could she? Why did she do it?

All these questions will be answered by 60 Minutes on Sunday. When “Ashleegate” went down last Saturday (that’s when Ashlee Simpson was caught lip-syncing on Saturday Night Live), a news crew from CBS’ 60 Minutes happened to be doing a story on SNL for this week’s broadcast.

Their coincidental timing enabled them to capture rehearsal footage of Simpson. The footage reveals that she tried signing but her voice was having problems. Lorne Michaels, head honcho at SNL, told the 60 Minutes reporter that they were worried she wouldn’t be able to sing live.

Footage from the live show reveals Simpson running off the stage in tears.

In conclusion, Simpson had no choice but to use a track in the background and she was telling the truth all along.

60 Minutes airs Sunday on CBS.
